Country Springs Hotel in Pewaukee
Does your proposal process feel more like a bumpy road than smooth sailing? Are you always in a panic to meet deadlines? Are your submittals bogged down with too much information, or the wrong information? Does your firm respond to every RFP it receives, leaving you little time to focus your efforts productively?
This session will help you address the “why” and “how” of the proposal process, not just “what.” You will learn how to develop internal relationships to facilitate a smooth proposal process and be more selective about which projects you pursue. You will discover tips for writing and editing content, organizing your resources and tips on document layout that communicates visually and effectively.
Join us for this interactive program that will infuse energy and enthusiasm into what you do every day!
